Haven't read the link yet. But do I know the effects of formaldehyde and thyroid issues?!

When I had thyroid crises, I could not walk into clothes section in supermarket! Same with our new fabric suite. New car upholstery. It was a terrifying experience, as not had reactions to food or stuff before, ever!

I will look forward to reading this later. Thank you for posting.

Used to be given formaldehyde lozenges for sore throats. Yes, that is me. Not "in the 18th century". :-)

I worked in NHS histopathology! Tissues soaked in formaldehyde! That's when we weren't working for the other pathologist who liked us to use I think it was mercuric chloride solution. (Brain rusty/pickled after all these years!) I do also have a strong family history of hypo but think I am the only one with Hashi's!

Not what you're looking for?
